Description

Chez les Ryan et les McNeil, on est truand de père en fils. Derniers rejetons de leur lignée, Johno et Shane n'entendent pas déroger à la tradition familiale. A l'orée des années 1980, tout juste sortis de l'adolescence, ils se lancent dans les "affaires". Après un séjour en prison, les deux amis vont prendre des chemins différents : tandis que Johno se bat pour devenir un homme respectable en élevant seul son jeune fils Danny, Shane récidive et retourne en détention, où il est "adopté" par des membres de la pègre locale. Jusqu'au jour où leurs trajectoires se croisent à nouveau... L'amour inconditionnel et rédempteur que Johno porte à Danny illumine ce roman noir dans lequel Alan Duff explore la violence du milieu criminel australien. À travers ces portraits d'êtres désirant réécrire le scénario tragique de leur vie, l'auteur néo-zélandais signe peut-être ici son roman le plus poignant.
